HERE ARE SOME OF THE SPECIAL TREATS MAYFAIR HAS TO OFFER Groom service Best foot forward WITH THE SANDAL SEASON around the corner, now’s the time to make sure your feet are looking their best. Geo F Trumper offers a professional chiropody service at its flagship store at 9 Curzon Street. Resident chiropodist Marc Metcalf says: “The service enables gentlemen to improve their health and well-being as well as maintain their personal appearance and grooming.” A consultation includes a health assessment of the feet, which can pick up symptoms resulting from a variety of conditions such as diabetes. Nail, fungal and bacterial conditions are diagnosed and treated, corns and calluses removed and ingrown toenails treated. The consultation ends with a foot massage and a hot towel scented with Trumper’s West Indian extract of limes. Customers are also advised on how to take care of their feet, from cutting toenails correctly to avoiding ailments such as warts and athlete’s foot. A session in a private wood-panelled cubicle costs £40. To book, call 020 7499 1850.

The treatment starts with a scrub of cocoa butter and chocolate nibs to remove dead skin cells and stimulate circulation.
